JKSSB JE Civil 2025 CutOff: The Jammu and Kashmir Services Selection Board (JKSSB) has officially released the result/score sheet for the Junior Engineer (Civil) written examination conducted on November 2, 2025. With the PDF now available, candidates are eagerly calculating their chances for the next stage: Document Verification (DV).

Below is a detailed analysis of the expected cut-off, safe scores, and vacancy breakdown to help you determine where you stand.

Exam Overview & Vacancy Breakdown

The cut-off for any exam heavily depends on the number of vacancies available. For the 2025 JE Civil recruitment, the 508 total posts are distributed as follows:

  • Jal Shakti Department: 358 Posts
  • Public Works (R&B) Department: 150 Posts
  • Total Vacancies: 508

JKSSB JE Civil 2025: Expected Cut-Off (Category Wise)

Since the PDF released is a Score Sheet (listing marks of all appearing candidates) and not a final selection list, the official cut-off has not been declared yet. However, based on the paper’s difficulty level (Moderate to Tough) and the number of vacancies, here is the expected safe score for Document Verification.

Maximum Marks: 120

Category Expected Cut-Off Range (Marks) Safe Score (Final Selection)
Open Merit (OM) 100 – 105 102+
RBA 95 – 100 97+
SC 90 – 95 92+
ST 88 – 92 90+
EWS 92 – 96 94+
ALC/IB 90 – 95 93+
PSP 88 – 92 90+

> Note: The “Safe Score” indicates a high probability of making it to the final merit list, while the lower end of the range suggests you will likely receive a call for Document Verification.

Factors Influencing the Cut-Off

Several factors have contributed to the high expected cut-off this year:

  1. Competition Level: With a limited number of posts (508) and a high volume of engineering graduates in J&K, the competition remains stiff.

  2. Paper Difficulty: While some sections were tricky, the technical section was scoring for well-prepared candidates, pushing the average score up.

  3. Negative Marking: The 0.25 negative marking factor plays a crucial role in separating the top rankers.

How to Check Your Rank in the Result PDF

Since the result is a consolidated list, you need to find your merit rank manually to understand your chances:

  1. Open the result PDF (RESULT_CIVIL _24112025.pdf).
  2. Use the search function (Ctrl + F on PC or Search icon on Mobile) and enter your Roll Number or Name.
  3. Check your Total Score.
  4. Determine Your Rank:
  • Count how many candidates are above you in the list.
  • For Open Merit: If your rank is within the top 500-600, you are in a very safe zone.
  • For Reserved Categories: You can multiply the number of reserved seats by 1.5 to finding your safe rank limit.

What’s Next? Document Verification (DV)

The JKSSB will soon issue a separate notification calling candidates for Document Verification.

  • Typically, candidates are called in a ratio of 1:1.5 or 1:2 (approx. 750-1000 candidates total).

  • Ensure your Domicile Certificate, Category Certificate, and Qualification Degrees are valid and ready.

Conclusion:

If you are scoring above 100 (OM) or 95+ (Reserved Categories), you should start preparing your documents. For those on the borderline, wait for the official DV notification as slight variations in the cut-off are always possible.
